Chris Brown May Be Prosecuted for Pet Monkey

Couldn't just let that man live

Chris Brown made the mistake of posting a photo of his daughter playing with a Capuchin monkey… and now a bunch of social media narcs have Breezy facing 6 months in jail.

Brown posted a photo of his daughter Royalty playing with the monkey named Fiji, and he made it clear that Fiji was her new pet. The internet lost it, saying that the monkey was a danger to Brown’s daughter. A few people reported Brown to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, who realized that Brown didn’t have the proper permits to own the monkey.

The authorities got a warrant, but Brown turned the monkey over before they could come knocking. Still, the singer could be charged with “having a restricted species without a permit.” The case has been turned over to the Los Angeles City Attorney.

“As I leave my office in Downtown L.A. and walk past people sleeping on the street on my way to defend people charged by the City Attorney with selling medical marijuana … now spending taxpayer money on investigating monkey business, this completes the circle on his absurdity,” he said.

The monkey story is the latest example of Chris Brown not being able to get what he wants. Last year, a visibly strung out Brown said that he was really feeling Jennifer Lopez during an interview with Power 105.1.

“J. Lo bad, man,” he said. “I’m just letting you know. I might have stiffened up a little bit when I was back at the little show because it was a lot of people back there and I was nervous. My palms were sweaty. I said hi. But I like you and I want you.”

Charlamagne The God turned it around on him and called him out on it. Chris Brown cancelled their interview but claimed that it was because he wasn’t feeling well.

In a message to the hosts, he tried to smooth things over.

“hoarse!!! AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THE NEGATIVE S**T THAT IS SAID BECAUSE YALL FEEL HURT. All good… I’ll let y’all have that. . HOPE THAT HELPS YALL STATUS! Love you (I’m glad to know how yall really feel though.) guess god don’t make mistakes! SHOW TONIGHT… y’all invited too.”

Of course, Brown doesn’t just have beef with radio hosts and government officials. He’s also going through some seriously tumultuous times with his friends and former lovers. The mother of his child is currently beefing with Brown’s friend who babysat for Royalty.

“I took care of RoRo for an entire year for free as if she were my own child because her mother is unfit and she gallivants around town being a social media mother,” Shakur Sozahdah wrote in a since-deleted social media post. “This drug-using, child-abusing, devil-worshiping Satan doesn’t know how to keep me and my sister’s names out her disease-infested mouth. I got far too many receipts on you. Don’t pretend to believe in God now. You do brujeria, roots and black magic on people. That is not God’s work.”

And now he has to go through all this down one monkey.

What do you think? Should Chris have known better? Should people have kept their mouths shut? Is a monkey all that dangerous? Sound off in the comments and be sure to SHARE this article.
